I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Texas Instruments in Jan 2014
Interview
Interviewed over phone after recruiter called to set up interview. Gave technical presentation over phone while sharing computer screen for powerpoint.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a few questions about my method of debugging and test as well as basic semiconductor questions (i.e. what is a controllable variable other than voltage in semiconductor optimization - ans: frequency)
First started with behavioral questions then technical questions. Some technical questions they asked were op amps, RC circuits and coding question. Technical questions were pretty basic and interviewer was pretty nice.
One initial contact at a job fair, then one video call like zoom but using TI’s system, where your screen is shared and you present a project that you’ve worked on, and the last step was an in-person interview in Dallas, where they pay for the flight, the car, accommodations and meals. The last interview had two rounds, one behavioral and one technical.

Question 1
They asked me to draw the truth tables of some simple logic gates: AND, NOR, etc…
Four rounds of interviews, two were by yourself and two were in person. First was a behavioral exam. For in-person basic technical questions were asked followed by a presentation about yourself.
